We are not statisticians - we leave that to the people who are paid to make stats ;)

However, a look at our en.Wiki SPI and COIN departments will make you fall off your chair too - there are ‘editors’ even operating protection rackets (proven).
I’m not sure Phab is the place to report it - despite some high level conferences with the WMF we have been unable to convince of the need for software solutions to help combat it. 

It should be the topic of a talk at Wikimania but my propsed presentation has been blocked two years running.

if you knew the extent of paid editing, blackmail, and extortion we are discovering and trying to combat you’d fall off your chair or drop your camera.


If you have statistics (ideally across languages) and you can help us
understand this problem better, please provide them or a pointer to
them at https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T158476

Hello Wikimedians!

My name is Victor Grigas, I’m a storyteller and video producer at the Wikimedia Foundation, the non-profit that supports Wikipedia. Many of you may already know me or my work. I'll be in Montreal at Wikimania from Thursday August 10th through Sunday August 13th and wanted to ask that if you know someone or are someone who has an inspiring story to share about how you use Wikimedia projects, then we'd like to hear it!

If you are interested, please answer a few questions on this private Google form or share it with someone you know who will be attending Wikimania:

(All answers are confidential and we will not publish your story without first getting your written permission.)

We publish profiles of Wikimedians here regularly:
https://blog.wikimedia.org/c/communications/profiles/

Then, in Montreal I can take your portrait photo for free to publish on Wikimedia Commons. I’ll be there from Thursday August 10th through Sunday August 13th. I’ll only need a few minutes of your time to take your photo and we can co-ordinate by email. Once I'm there, I'll have a better idea of where I'll be for the best lighting setup.

If you have any questions, feel free to email Victor Grigas - vgrigas@wikimedia.org

Thank you!
